Abstract: Provided are adhesive materials for fire resistant applications, methods of using these adhesive materials on lignocellulosic and other like substrates, and composite materials including lignocellulosic substrates and these adhesive materials. In addition to being fire-resistant, the composites formed from the substrates and adhesive materials may be also durable to moisture. The adhesive materials may include at least one proteinaceous-containing material and at least one magnesium oxychloride material. Other materials may be present as well, in some embodiments. For example, an adhesive material may include a solvent or a vinyl polymer. In some embodiments, water may be used as a solvent and the adhesive material may be referred to as an aqueous adhesive material. Some examples of suitable vinyl polymers include but are not limited to polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH), polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) and vinyl acetate/ethylene (VAE).
